Description
3.5 Theory of operation
The Coriolis principle of measurement

The flow measurement is based on the Coriolis law of motion. Particles moving in a rotating /
oscillating system will resist imposed oscillations in a manner consistent with their mass and
velocity (momentum). Oscillation produced by a Coriolis flowmeter where the process media
is accelerated around bends results in phase distortions of the measuring tubes.
The SITRANS F C sensors are energized by an electromagnetic driver circuit which oscillates
the pipes at their resonant frequency. Two pickups are placed symmetrically on either side of
the driver to provide position signals for digital processing.
When the media flows through the sensor, Coriolis force will act on the measuring tubes and
cause deflection which can be measured as a phase shift between Pickup 1 and Pickup 2.
The phase shift is proportional to the mass flowrate.
)UHTXHQF\à 'HQVLW\ 7LPH à 0$66IORZ
3LFNXS 3LFNXS
The frequency (or period) of the vibration is a direct function of the process media density.
The frequency and amplitude of the driver is regulated to ensure a stable output from the 2
pickups. The temperature of the sensor tubes is measured to provide accurate compensation
for changes in the material stiffness. As a result the process media temperature is also
accurately measured.
The flow proportional phase signal from the pickups, the temperature measurement and the
driver frequency enable calculation and reporting of mass, density, volume, and temperature.
Digital signal processing (DSP)

The analog to digital conversion takes place in an ultra low noise sigma delta converter with
high signal resolution. With fast digital signal processing massflow and density values are
calculated using a patented DFT technology (Discrete Fourier Transformation). The
combination of this patented DFT technology and the fast DSP enables short response time
(< 10 ms) to changes in the measured values.

Description
The built-in noise filter is configurable and can be used for improving the performance of the
flowmeter, in case the installation and application conditions are not ideal. Typical process
noise such as gas bubbles (two-phase-flow) can be reduced through the filter functions.

4.1 Introduction
SITRANS F flowmeters with minimum IP67/NEMA 4X enclosure rating are suitable for indoor
and outdoor installations.
● Make sure that specifications for process pressure (PS) and media temperature (TS) plus
ambient temperature that are indicated on the device nameplate / label will not be
exceeded.
WARNING
Installation in hazardous location
Special requirements apply to the location and interconnection of sensor and transmitter.
See "Installation in hazardous locations" (Page 20)
4.2 Strong vibrations
CAUTION
Strong vibrations
Damage to device.
● In plants with strong vibrations, mount the transmitter in a low vibration environment away
from the sensor.
4.3 Sensor installation
4.3.1 Installation safety precautions
WARNING
High pressure hazard
In applications with working pressures/media that can be dangerous to people, surroundings,
equipment or others in case of pipe fracture, we recommend that special precautions such
as special placement, shielding or installation of a pressure guard or a safety valve are taken
when the sensor is mounted.

Installing/mounting
WARNING
Exceeded maximum permissible operating pressure
Danger of injury or poisoning.
The maximum permissible operating pressure depends on the device version. The device
can be damaged if the operating pressure is exceeded. Hot, toxic and corrosive process
media could be released.
● Make sure that the device is suitable for the maximum permissible operating pressure of
your system. Refer to the information on the nameplate and/or in "Rated operating
conditions (Page 178)".
CAUTION
Hot surfaces resulting from hot process media
Danger of burns resulting from surface temperatures above 70 °C (155 °F).
● Take appropriate protective measures, for example contact protection.
● Make sure that protective measures do not cause the maximum permissible ambient
temperature to be exceeded. Refer to the information in Chapter "Rated operating
conditions (Page 178)".
CAUTION
External stresses and loads
Damage to device by severe external stresses and loads (e.g. thermal expansion or pipe
tension). Process media can be released.
● Prevent severe external stresses and loads from acting on the device.
WARNING
Wetted parts unsuitable for the process media
Danger of injury or damage to device.
Hot, toxic and corrosive media could be released if the process medium is unsuitable for the
wetted parts.
● Ensure that the material of the device parts wetted by the process medium is suitable for
the medium. Refer to the information in "Technical data" (Page 180).

Installing/mounting
Note
Material compatibility
Siemens can provide you with support concerning selection of sensor components wetted
by process media. However, you are responsible for the selection of components. Siemens
accepts no liability for faults or failures resulting from incompatible materials.
4.3.2 Determining a location
CAUTION
Do not install the sensor in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields, for example near
motors, variable frequency drives, transformers etc.
Upstream / downstream
● No pipe run requirements, that is straight inlet/outlet sections are not necessary.
● Avoid long drop lines downstream from the sensor to prevent process media separation
causing air / vapour bubbles in the tube (min. back pressure: 0.2 Bar).
● Avoid installing the sensor immediately upstream of a free discharge in a drop line.

Installing/mounting
Location in the system

The optimum location in the system depends on the application:
● Liquid applications
Gas or vapor bubbles in the fluid may result in erroneous measurements, particularly in the
density measurement.
– Do not install the flowmeter at the highest point in the system, where bubbles will be
trapped.
– Install the flowmeter in low pipeline sections, at the bottom of a U-section in the pipeline.
Figure 4-1 Liquid applications, wrong location with trapped air/gas
● Gas applications
Vapor condensation or oil traces in the gas may result in erroneous measurements.
– Do not install the flowmeter at the lowest point of the system
– Install a filter.
Figure 4-2 Gas applications, wrong location with trapped oil
4.3.3 Orientation of the sensor
Flow direction
The calibrated flow direction is indicated by the arrow on the sensor. Flow in this direction will
be indicated as positive by default. The sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor is identical with
reverse flow.
The indicated flow direction (positive/ negative) is configurable.
CAUTION
The sensor must always be completely filled with process media in order to measure
accurately.

Installing/mounting
Orienting the sensor

SITRANS FCS400 operates in any orientation, but Siemens recommends orienting the sensor
in one of the following ways:
1. Vertical installation with an upwards flow (self-draining)
/
Figure 4-3 Vertical orientation, upwards flow
2. Horizontal installation, tubes down (only recommended for liquid applications)

/
Figure 4-4 Horizontal orientation, tubes down
3. Horizontal installation, tubes up (only recommended for gas applications)

/
Figure 4-5 Horizontal orientation; tubes up
Note
Hygienic applications
In 3A and EHEDG certified hygienic applications the flowmeter must be installed vertically
as shown in 1.

Installing/mounting
Installation in a drop line

Installation in a drop line is only recommended if a pipeline reduction or orifice with a smaller
cross-section can be installed to create back-pressure and prevent the sensor from being
partially drained while measuring.

4.3.4 Mounting the sensor
NOTICE
Incorrect mounting
The device can be damaged, destroyed, or its functionality impaired through improper
mounting.
● Before installing ensure there is no visible damage to the device.
● Make sure that process connectors are clean, and suitable gaskets and glands are used.
● Mount the device using suitable tools. Refer to the information in "Technical data"
(Page 185) , for example installation torques requirements.

Installing/mounting
WARNING
Unsuitable connecting parts
Danger of injury or poisoning.
In case of improper mounting hot, toxic and corrosive process media could be released at
the connections.
● Ensure that connecting parts (such as flange gaskets and bolts) are suitable for connection
and process media.
● Install the sensor in rigid pipelines in order to support the weight of the meter.
● Center the connecting pipelines axially in order to assure a stress-free installation.
● Install two supports or hangers symmetrically and stress-free on the pipeline in close
proximity to the process connections.
Handling
Note
Compact versions
Never lift the flowmeter using the transmitter housing, that is always lift the sensor body.
Avoid vibrations
● Make sure that any valves or pumps upstream of the sensor do not cavitate and do not
send vibration into the sensor.
● Decouple vibrating pipeline from the flow sensor using flexible tube or couplings

Figure 4-8 Flexible pipes recommended in vibrating environment
Avoid cross talk

If operating more than one flowmeter in one or multiple interconnected pipelines there is a risk
of cross talk.
Prevent cross talk in one of the following ways:
● Mount sensors on separate frames
● Decouple the pipeline using flexible tube or couplings
)&
Figure 4-9 High risk of cross talk when using non-flexible pipes

Figure 4-10 Low risk of cross talk when using flexible pipes
4.3.5 Mounting a pressure guard

The sensor enclosure is supplied with two G½" purge ports. These ports can for example be
used for a pressure guard, which can be connected to an automatic shut off valve to stop the
flow in case of sensor pipe fracture. The pressure guard can only be applied in non-hazardous
locations. Opening either of the purge ports will void any Ex rating for the sensor.
The AISI 304 / EN 1.4301 exterior enclosure is rated to approximately 20 bar static pressure
to contain spilt process media in the event of a tube break. However it is not intended to contain
high pressure or corrosive fluids and precautions must be taken in applications where vibrating
tube failure is probable and may cause damage.

Installing/mounting
Pressure guard selection

Siemens does not supply the components of the pressure guard solution because the
arrangement and components are closely related to individual safety and protection practices
in each place.
The selection of pressure guard solution is the responsibility of the user, however Siemens
recommends the following forms of pressure guard:
● A pressure switch screwed directly or piped into one of the purge ports and connected to
an automatic shutoff valve will disable pressurized supply to the meter.
● A relief valve or bursting disc screwed directly or piped to one of the purge ports to carry
any spilt fluid to drain.
The pressure switch and relief valve set point should be 2-3 bar gauge. The pressure switch
should be rated to withstand the full process pressure and temperature for a short time without
rupture.
CAUTION
Drain flow
Ensure the drain flow is safely contained away from personnel and other plant or equipment.
Mounting of pressure guard
CAUTION
Moisture, liquids or particles getting into the sensor enclosure
All sensors are filled with argon to avoid condensation. Ingress of moisture, liquids or particles
into the sensor may influence the measurement and in worst case inhibit the measuring
function.
● Avoid moisture, liquids or particles getting into the sensor enclosure
Install a pressure guard as follows:

1. Place the sensor in a dry, clean place and leave it to acclimatize until it reaches ambient
temperature, preferred 20°C (68°F) with low humidity (at least below 50% RH).
2. Orient the sensor with the purge ports uppermost to minimize loss of the Argon gas filling.
3. Carefully remove the plug and mount the pressure guard.
Use replacement soft metal sealing rings for proper sealing
CAUTION
Lack of proper sealing
Soft metal sealing rings only maintain a hermetic seal within the enclosure with single use.
● Ensure that soft metal sealing rings are not reused.

Installing/mounting

Functions 8
In the following the main functionalities of the device are described in detail.
For overview of all functions and parameters, refer to the parameter tables in the appendix
"LUI menu structure" (Page 203).
8.1 Process values

The process values are cyclically updated every 10 ms (100 Hz update rate) synchronous with
the DSP update cycle.
Process value parameters

The process values1) are:
● Massflow *
● Volumeflow *
● Corrected volumeflow
● Density *
● Process media temperature
● Fraction A (massflow or volumeflow)
● Fraction B (massflow or volumeflow)
● Fraction A %
● Fraction B %
1)
Only the process variables listed above with * are available to be allocated to the 4-20 mA
output on Channel 1. Other process variables are available through HART and all of Channels
2 to 4.
Process value derivations

The front-end of the FCS430 flowmeter measures time and derives the values of certain
process variables from those measurements. The time period of vibration of the two measuring
tubes is inversely proportional to their frequency, which is used to determine density. The
average difference in phase of the two measuring tubes is dependent upon the mass flowrate
of the process medium. In this measurement context, phase difference is expressed not in
degrees of rotation but as an absolute time measurement. For this reason the result of zero
offset correction is displayed in µs, being the unit of the true measurement.
The process variables are interrelated and derived in the following fashions:

Functions
8.2 Zero point adjustment
● Massflow: proportional to the phase difference between pickup 1 and pickup 2, with
compensations for changes in the metal characteristics due to tube and frame metal
temperatures1).
● Volumeflow: derived directly from the ratio of massflow and media density.
● Corrected volumeflow: derived from the ratio of massflow and reference density2).
● Density: derived from the average frequency of sensor tube vibration with compensation
for changes in the metal characteristics with tube temperature. The relationship between
density and vibration frequency is an inverse square-law curve which can be fitted to 3
reference points being the densities of air, hot water and cold water.
● Process media temperature: derived from the tube metal temperature. This is a legitimate
measurement outcome since the tube walls are thin and they are within a sealed, protected
environment, thereby giving similar sensitivity as an insertion thermometer.
● Fraction A (massflow or volumeflow): derived from the combination of media density and
temperature, and compared with a stored table of fraction percentage against a wide range
of both process values through a fifth-order polynomial3)
● Fraction B (massflow or volumeflow): ditto but fraction B is "Flow – A"
● Fraction A %: as for fraction A quantity but A% is the ratio between Fraction A flow and
Total flow
● Fraction B %: ditto but B% is "100% – A%"
1)
Metal temperatures are measured using precision Pt1000 sensors. The accuracy of the
temperature measurement is ±1.0 °C.
2)
Reference density is the density of the media at reference conditions, normally atmospheric
pressure and 20 °C. Reference density can be programmed into the flowmeter menu in two
forms, either as a fixed reference or with a selection of linear or square-law temperature
dependence. The choice of fixed or calculated reference density and of linear or square-law
temperature dependency is according to the application and user preferences.
3)
The customer-specified density/temperature tables may be derived from the mass fraction
or volume fraction of any two-part mixture. Fraction calculations are naturally performed in the
ratio provided, or in mass ratio when using the built-in tables. Volume or mass ratios derived
from the fraction table are calculated through the composite media density.

In the following the automatic zero point adjustment function is described. For further details,
see the appendix "Zero point adjustment" (Page 229).
Note
Preconditions
flowrate of zero preferably also at operating pressure and temperature. Refer to "Zero point
adjustment" via LUI (Page 74) or PDM (Page 89) for more details.

Functions
Note
Change of parameters during zero point adjustment
Do not change any other parameter during the zero point adjustment procedure.
Automatic zero point adjustment

SITRANS FC430 measures and calculates the correct zero point automatically.
The automatic zero point adjustment of the flowmeter is set by the following parameters:
● Duration
When zero adjust is initiated by selecting "Start Zero Point Adjustment", the massflow values
are acquired and totalized for the configured period (Duration). The default zero point
adjustment period (30 s.) is normally sufficient for a stable zero point measurement.
Note
Extremely low flow quantity
If the flow quantity is extremely small, extremely precise measurement is necessary. In this
case, a long zero point adjustment period can be selected for improved zero point adjustment.
Zero point calculation

During zero point adjustment, an average value is automatically calculated from a large number
of samples. The resultant flow value represents an offset from true zero flow. The standard
deviation is also calculated which represents the stability of the zero offset value.
Successful automatic zero point adjustment

If the new zero point offset value is valid, it is automatically stored as the new zero point for
the sensor. It remains stored in the case of a power failure.
Manual zero point adjustment

In case an automatic zero point adjustment cannot be performed, it is possible to do a manual
zero point adjustment by entering the zero point offset value.
1. Select "Manual" in "Select Zero Point Adj." (menu item 2.6.1).
2. Enter the desired value in "Offset" (menu item 2.6.8).

Functions
8.4 Empty tube monitoring
8.3 Low flow cut-off

In certain applications, as for instance dosing applications, 0% flow signals below a certain
flowrate are desired. In these applications, the flow signal can be forced to zero, when the flow
is lower than a predefined flow value (Low Flow Cut-Off).
SITRANS FC430 provides two parameters for setting the low flow cut-off:
● Low Mass Flow Cut-Off
● Low Volume Flow Cut-Off
The low flow cut-off parameters influence all outputs of the device, for example Local User
Interface, Channel 1 to 4, and HART.
Depending on the process values selection of the output either Low Mass Flow Cut-Off or Low
Volume Flow Cut-Off will influence the output.
8.4 Empty tube monitoring

The empty tube monitoring function uses the process density for detecting an empty tube. Use
of this function is recommended for all standard applications.
Note
Gas applications
Deactivate the empty tube monitoring function
Empty tube monitoring parameters

Two parameters for setting the empty tube monitoring function are available:
● Empty Tube Detection
● Empty Tube Limit
The empty tube monitoring is activated via the Empty Tube Detection parameter. When the
empty tube monitoring function is on, the massflow / volumeflow value is forced to zero if the
tube is empty.
The tube is defined as empty, if the measured density value is lower than the value defined
via the Empty Tube Limit parameter.
Note
Process media density
Risk of unintentionally forcing flow values to zero, if the difference between the empty tube
limit density value and the density of the process media is not sufficient.
● Ensure sufficient difference between the empty tube limit density value and the process
media density

Functions
8.5 Process noise damping
Noise damping function

The dynamic sensitivity of the flow measurement signal to rapid changes in process flows can
be reduced by use of the process noise damping function. The function is typically used in
environment with::
● Strongly pulsating flow
● Changing pump speeds
● Large pressure variations
Process noise damping settings

Reduce interfering process noise by increasing the setting of the parameter "Process Noise
Damping".
● Centrifugal pump (minimum damping)
● Triplex pump
● Duplex pump
● Simplex pump
● Cam pump (maximum damping)
The default value is "Duplex pump". The damping affects all functions and outputs of the sensor.

8.6.1 Current output
All four channels can be configured as current output. As the 4 to 20 mA output on channel 1
is Functional Safety approved (SIL 2 on hardware and SIL 3 on software), the configuration
options for channel 1 are limited, see below.
Current output configuration

The following process values can be assigned to the current output:
● Massflow *
● Volumeflow *
● Corrected Volumeflow
● Density *
● Fluid Temperature
● Fraction A (Volumeflow or Massflow)
● Fraction B (Volumeflow or Massflow)
● Fraction A %
● Fraction B %
*: Only the marked process variables can be allocated to the 4 to 20 mA output on Channel 1.
All process variables are available through HART and all of channels 2 to 4.
The accuracy specified for the analog output signal applies only within the range 4 to 20 mA.
Lower limit (4 mA) and upper limit (20 mA) can be assigned to any specific flow values.

8.6.2 Pulse output
The pulse output function supplies pulses equivalent to a configured amount of accumulated
volume or mass. The pulse width is configured and the pulse repetition is proportional to the
selected flow rate.

Functions
Pulse repetition
Pulse repetition is calculated as follows:
$PRXQWSHUSXOVH
)&
3XOVHUHSHWLWLRQ
0HDVXUHGIORZUDWH
Note
Pulse width must be selected with the view that remaining time is always greater than pulse
width at the highest measured flow.
Example
This example shows how a pulse repetition is calculated according to the pulse settings:
● Pulse output configuration (channels 2 to 4)
– Operation Mode = Pulse Output
– Process Value = Massflow
– Amount Per Pulse = 1 kg
– Pulse Width = 1 ms
● Measured massflow value = 10 kg/s (constant)
Result:
● Pulse repetition = 100 ms
● Output frequency = 10 pulses per second with a pulse width of 1 ms
● Remaining time between pulses is 99 ms
Redundancy mode
If both channel 2 and channel 3 are configured as pulse outputs, channel 3 can be configured
for redundancy mode to follow channel 2 shifted by 90˚or 180˚ of the functional width of the
pulse. The functional width of the pulse is two times the pulse "On" duration. The flow direction
will determine whether channel 3 is shifted before or after channel 2.
The following examples describe the pulse functionalities for channel 2 and 3 in redundancy
mode:

Functions
Example
This example shows how to calculate the output frequency for any measured flowrate:
Frequency output configuration:
● Operation Mode = Frequency Output (Channel 2 to 4)
● Process Value = Massflow
● Frequency Value High = 12 kHz
● Frequency Value Low = 2 kHz
● Flow Value High = 15 kg/s
● Flow Value Low = 5 kg/s
Measured massflow value = 7.5 kg/s (constant)
Result:
● Frequency = 4.5 kHz
Note
The connected equipment must be capable of registering the full range of frequencies
configured.
8.6.4 Status output
8.6.4.1 Alarm status

The alarm status can be signaled on Signal Output or Relay Output. Depending on the Alarm
Mode setting, the alarms signaled on the output can be selected from alarm class or alarm
item.
● Alarm Class: Alarm will be signaled if alarm within the selected alarm class occurs.
● Alarm Item: Alarm will be signaled if selected alarm item occurs.
Note
Alarm class can be either NAMUR or Standard (Siemens Standard) depending on Alarm
Mode settings (ID 3.2.1). Both types of alarms and their messages are described in more
detail in "Alarms and system messages" (Page 151).

Functions
8.7 Totalizers
8.6.5 Control output
The control output can be used for controlling discrete valve dosing and analog valve dosing
as described in "Dosing" (Page 130).
8.6.6 Input
If the input is activated with a logic signal (15 - 30 V DC), the meter carries out an activity
selected in the menu.
8.6.6.1 Input options

The following input options are available:
● Start dosing
● Hold / continue dosing
– When this function is activated, it will pause the dosing. When it is deactivated, the
dosing will continue
● Stop dosing
– Sets the digital output to "Off" and resets the dosing counter
● Zero adjust
– Starts the automatic zero point adjustment. This function employs the existing
configurations and presumes that the process conditions are prepared for the zero point
adjustment routine
● Reset totalizer
– Resets one of the internal totalizers 1, 2 or 3 (depending on configuration)
● Resets all totalizers simultaneously
8.7 Totalizers
Totalizer functions
SITRANS FC430 has three independent totalizers that can be used for the summation of
massflow, volumeflow, corrected volumeflow, fraction A (volumeflow or massflow) or fraction
B (volumeflow or massflow).
The totalizers can be configured to count balance (net flow), positive flow or negative flow.
In case of failure in the system, the totalizer fail safe mode can be set to:

Functions
8.8 Dosing
- Hold: the totalizer holds the last value before the failure occurred
- Run: the totalizer continues counting the actual measured value
- Memory: the totalizer continues counting based on the last input value (for example massflow)
before the failure occurred.
The totalizers can be operated via the Local User Interface or HART (for example SIMATIC
PDM). The totalizers can be reset or preset.
8.8 Dosing
The dosing function controls the sequence of flow through one or two valves into a container.
The user can set the Amount and the sequence of controlling the valve(s). The dosing function
then controls the valves to open and close in sequence to achieve the Amount.
The process values for dosing control are updated with 100 Hz to ensure maximum response
time of 10 ms to rapidly changing flows.
The flow sequence can be paused, resumed and ended by the user at any point in the flow
sequence.
Transmitter outputs therefore change state according to the dosing sequence or operator
commands. For optimal dosing control the minimum number of components between the
flowmeter and the dosing valves must be employed. The dosing function must be configured
for the type of valve used for dosing:
● One Stage Dosing:
Dosing controlled by a single discrete (Open/Closed) valve. The valve opens completely
when the dosing begins, and closes completely when the dosing Amount is reached.
● Two Stage Dosing:
Dosing controlled by two discrete valves (a primary valve and a secondary valve). One
valve opens at the beginning of the dosing; the other opens at a user-defined amount. One
valve stays open until the end of the dosing; the other closes at a user-defined amount.
See examples below (Page 131) of some different opening and closing options.
● Analog Dosing:
Dosing controlled by an analog valve configured in three stages as fully open, partially
closed, and fully closed. See example below (Page 131) of the three-positional analog
dosing.
Dosing configuration
The dosing functionality is configured via LUI. Menu 2.4 "Inputs/Outputs" determines how the
transmitter will use the inputs and outputs for dosing control. Menu 2.5 "Dosing" independently
determines the sequencing of the outputs to achieve the user’s desired result.
The dosing function provides:

Functions
8.8 Dosing
● three dosing valve control mechanisms (One Stage Dosing, Two Stage Dosing or Analog
Dosing)
● dosing of massflow, volumeflow, corrected volumeflow or fraction flow (mass or volume)
● five independently configurable recipes
● flexible discrete or analog valve control
● fault handling – time and amount monitoring
Configure the dosing function as follows:
1. Basic dosing parameters common for all recipes in menu 2.5 "Dosing"
– Select valve control functionality at parameter "Dosing Mode"
– Select measured process value for dosing at parameter "Process Values"
2. Individual recipe(s) in menus 2.5.4 to 2.5.8 as required
– Setup dosing name, amount, unit and compensation
– Select valve control sequence
– Select fault handling configuration
3. Output(s) in menu 2.4 "Inputs/Outputs" (see table below).
4. Input for dosing control in menu 2.4 "Inputs/Outputs"
8.8.1 Valve control configuration
Valve control dosing

Dosing is controlled with either one or two discrete valves or a single analog valve. The
transmitter provides up to three input/output channels which can be used for dosing control.
The selection of channels is fixed when ordering the system. The channels can be setup for
dosing functionality in parameter 2.5.1 "Dosing Mode" as shown in the table below. Allocation
of the output to a specific dosing sequence element is performed in the software configuration
as follows:
One stage dosing

8.8.2 Dosing operation

When the transmitter recipes have been configured, the active recipe is selected in parameter
2.5.3 "Active Recipe". The transmitter output changes according to the dosing operation and
controls the valve in the dosing process. The digital input can be configured to start dosing.
LUI provides dosing control via menu 3.10.1 Control Dosing for test purpose. All dosing setup
and control can be performed via HART interface using SIMATIC PDM.
8.8.3 Fault handling

The transmitter fault handling provides monitoring of both dosing time and amount. The
configuration of the fault handling is done in menu 2.5.4.6 Fault Handling.
Dosing timeout monitoring

The dosing timeout monitoring checks whether the dosing procedure has been finished within
the configured Duration Time (menu item 2.5.4.6.2). If the duration time is exceeded, an alarm
will be triggered, see "Alarms and system messages" (Page 151).
Dosing overrun monitoring

The dosing overrun monitoring checks if the flow amount exceeds the defined Overrun Value
(menu item 2.5.4.6.4). If the overrun value is exceeded, an alarm will be triggered, see "Alarms
and system messages" (Page 151).
This function can detect a valve malfunction (non-closure) caused by a blockage, wear, etc.

For identification of custody transfer evaluated devices, see "Device identification" (Page 17).
9.3 Verification
Custody transfer requirements

All custody transfer devices are verified on site using reference measurements.

Custody Transfer
9.3 Verification
The device may only be used for applications subject to legal metrology once it has been
verified on site by the Verification Authority. The associated seals on the device ensure this
status.
NOTICE
Verification requirements
All flowmeters used for invoicing in applications subject to legal metrology controls must be
verified by the Verification Authorities. The corresponding approvals and the country-specific
requirements and regulations must be observed. The owner / user of the instrument is obliged
to conduct and maintain subsequent verifications.
Verification process
The following description of the process for securing custody transfer operation of the
flowmeter is general in nature and provided only for setup of the flowmeter in a separately
approved flow application. Following these instructions alone does not constitute approved
custody transfer operation. Refer to the relevant local authorities for requirements regarding
custody transfer operation.

Custody Transfer
9.4 Setting up custody transfer mode

The device has to be operational and not yet set to custody transfer mode.
1. Configure the functions important for custody transfer measurement, such as the output
setup (pulse, frequency), custody transfer variable and the measuring mode.
2. Once all the functions relevant to custody transfer have been configured, open the front lid
and remove the LUI display module to access the CT DIP switch group. The flowmeter is
set to custody transfer mode by setting the DIP switch (4) in "ON" position as shown in the
figure below.

9.5 Parameter protection in custody transfer mode
For remote variants with M12 plugs it is necessary to use the plug seals supplied with the flow
sensor. The plug seal encases the M12 plug, preventing unauthorized removal of the sensor
cable at either end.
The M12 plug is sealed in the following manner:
1. Make sure the M12 plug is correctly installed and tight in its socket.
2. Clip the two halves of the plug seal together around the plug and sensor cable as shown
in the above figures.
3. Ensure that the plug seal is free to rotate without catching on the plug or cable. The seal
assembly prevents unauthorized access by disabling any ability to unscrew the plug from
its socket.
4. Close the seal with a seal wire and crimp the seal plumb.
The device is now prepared for custody transfer operation and may be used in applications
subject to legal metrology controls.

The CT mode provides an additional protection of set of parameters. These parameters are
writable in non-CT mode but only readable in CT mode. In the following table the menus are
entered in bold text and the parameters in italic.

Online diagnostic information is available under menu "View->Device Status"
12.2 Troubleshooting sensor-related problems
Incorrect and unstable measurements, especially at low flows, are typically a result of an
unstable zero point due to:
● Incorrect installation
● Air bubbles in the liquid
● Vibrations/Cross talk
● Solid particles in the liquid
In the following a 4-steps guide to troubleshooting is provided:
Step 1 Preliminary application inspection

Step 2 Zero point adjustment
Step 3 Measurement error calculation
Step 4 Application improvement
The guide will enable you to trace the reason for incorrect measurements and to improve the
application.

Troubleshooting/FAQs
12.2.1 Step 1: Inspecting the application

Ensure that:
1. The sensor is installed as described in "Installing/mounting" (Page 39).
2. The sensor is located in a vibration-free position. Vibrations can disturb the sensor and
therefore cause measurement error.
Depending on application, you should furthermore ensure the following:
● Liquid application
Ensure that the sensor is filled with liquid and liquid only.
Air or gas bubbles in the liquid cause instability and can result in measurement errors.
Flush the pipe systems and the sensor for several minutes at maximum flowrate to remove
any air bubbles which may be present.
Note
The liquid must be homogeneous in order to measure with high accuracy. If the liquid
contains solid particles of greater density than the liquid, then these solids can settle,
especially at low flow rates, which will cause instability in the sensor and lead to
measurement errors.
● Gas application
Ensure that the gas pressure/temperature conditions contain sufficient superheat to prevent
dewing or precipitation. If the gas contains vapor or droplets then these may precipitate,
causing instability.
12.2.2 Step 2: Performing a zero point adjustment

The second step in the troubleshooting procedure is to zero point adjust the device. For further
information on zero point adjustment, see "Commissioning" (Page 71).
12.2.3 Step 3: Calculating the measurement error

The result of the zero point adjustment will show you if the zero point was set under good and
stable conditions.
The lower the obtained value of the parameter "Zero Point Standard Deviation", the lower is
the achievable measuring error. For a well-installed flowmeter, the Zero Point Standard
Deviation corresponds to the specified zero point stability for the sensor size, see
"Performance (Page 176).
The parameter "Zero Point Standard Deviation" is located in the "Maintenance & Diagnostics"
menu in the SIMATIC PDM.
Calculating the measurement error

Given the Zero Point Standard Deviation, the error expected for different flow rates can be
calculated, without performing time-consuming measurements. So using this formula, one can

assess if the application can be used as–is, or whether to use more time improving the
installation.
E = Z x 100 % / Qm
Where:
E = measurement error in % of flowrate

Z = zero point standard deviation value in kg/h
Qm = current flowrate in (kg/h)
Example 1: Low flow application

● DN 15 sensor. The sensor's nominal flowrate is specified to 3700 kg/h
● Zero point error (Zero Point Standard Deviation) value is specified as 0.2 kg/h
● Flow: Min. 10 kg/h - Max. 100 kg/h
After the zero point adjustment, the Zero Point Standard Deviation value 'Z' is read as 1 kg/h,
that is 5 times greater than that specified for the sensor.
The error for a flowrate of 10 kg/h is estimated as:
● E = 1 kg/h x 100% / 10 kg/h = 10%.
For a flowrate of 100 kg/h the error is estimated as:
● E = 1 kg/h x 100% / 100 kg/h = 1%
For this application it is necessary to investigate more closely what the cause of the relatively
high Zero Point Standard Deviation value is, in order to establish what needs to be done to
improve the measurement accuracy.
Example 2 : High flow application

DN 15 sensor. The sensor flowrate is specified as max. 3700 kg/h
● The zero point error/ Zero Point Standard Deviation value is specified as 0.2 kg/h
● Flowrate: Min. 1000 kg/h - Max. 3000 kg/h
After the zero point adjustment, the Zero Point Standard Deviation value 'Z' is read as 1 kg/h,
that is 5 times greater than specified for the sensor !
The error at a flowrate of 1000 kg/h is estimated as:
● E = 1 kg/h x 100% / 1000 kg/h = 0.1%
At a flowrate of 3000 kg/h the error is estimated to be:
● E = 1 kg/h x 100% / 3000 kg/h = 0.03%
Plus the linearity error of 0.1%
As can be seen, in this case it is not so important that the standard deviation is 1 kg/h. The
error due to the zero point is only 0.1% for a flowrate of 1000 kg/h, and even less for a higher
flowrate.

So for this installation with the given flowrate and zero point error (Zero Point Standard
Deviation value), you should typically choose not to spend more time finding ways to improve
the application.
12.2.4 Step 4: Improving the application

In the following it is described how to find the causes of a high Zero Point Standard Deviation
and how to improve the installation.
Setting Low Flow Cut-Off

In order to see if the zero point becomes more stable when making changes / adjustments,
the Low Mass Flow Cut-Off (MassFlowCutOff) must be set to 0.0%.
When Low Flow Cut-Off has been set, it is possible to see the instability directly from the
massflow in the online window ("View->Process variables")
This information can be used to troubleshoot. For example, tightening the brackets which hold
the sensor, or turning off the pump to check if vibrations from the pump are disturbing the
sensor, etc.
Incorrect installation of the sensor

● Has the sensor been correctly installed, that is fastened to the floor / wall or frame with
good mounting brackets as shown in the instructions?
Especially for low flowrates, that is flowrates less than 10% of the maximum capacity of the
flow meter, it is important that the sensor is correctly and stably installed.
If the sensor is not correctly fixed in place, the zero point of the sensor will change, leading to
measuring errors.
Try to tighten up the sensor brackets to see whether the flow instability is reduced.
Vibrations and cross talk

Vibrations in the pipe system are normally generated by pumps.
Typically, cross talk is generated by two sensors positioned in close proximity in the same
pipe, or installed upon the same rail or frame.
Vibrations / cross talk have a greater or lesser effect upon the zero point stability and therefore
also the measurement accuracy.

1. Check whether there are vibrations.

Turn off the pump and check whether the zero point stability improves, that is if the flowrate
fluctuation in kg/h is reduced.
If the sensor is disturbed by vibration from the pump, the installation should be improved
or the pump should be exchanged, for example to another type.
2. Check for cross talk.
Turn off the power to the other flow meter(s) and wait approximately 2 minutes, so the
vibrating tubes in the sensor have stopped vibrating. Then check if the zero point stability
has improved, that is that the fluctuation in kg/h has been reduced. If this is the case, the
sensors disturb one another and the installation should be improved.
Air in the liquid

When air is present in the liquid, the zero point becomes unstable, which leads to a poor
measurement accuracy.
Checking for air:
● Check the Driver Current (View -> Device Status -> Amplitude / Frequency)
● Check if the Driver Current varies more than ±1 mA. If this is the case, it is usually due to
the presence of air or gas bubbles in the liquid.
● Increase the pressure in the sensor, creating a large back pressure upon the sensor by
reducing the opening of the outlet valve or by increasing the pump pressure. Thereby the
size of air bubbles inside the sensor will be minimized. If the value or the stability of Driver
Current falls, it is proof that the liquid contains air or gas bubbles.
Typical causes of air in the liquid

● The entry pipe and sensor have not been properly filled with liquid. The pump cavitates,
the rotary speed of the pump is too high in relation to the supply of liquid to the pump.
● The flow rate in the pipe is too high, so components sitting in front of the flowmeter can
cause cavitation.
● If there is a filter installed before the flowmeter, it may be close to blocking, which also can
cause cavitation.
Solid particles in the liquid

If the solid particles in a liquid have a density higher than that of the liquid, they can precipitate
inside the sensor and cause instability which leads to a measurement error.
If solid particles are present in the liquid, they must be homogeneously distributed and have
similar density as the liquid. Otherwise they can cause relatively large measurement errors.
It is important that the sensor is installed such that solid particles can easily run out of the
sensor.
1. Ensure that the sensor is installed vertically with an upwards flow.
2. Check if solid particles are present in the liquid:
Take a sample of the liquid, fill a glass and see if the solids precipitate.

13.16 PED
The pressure equipment directive 97/23/EC applies to the alignment of the statutory orders of
the European member states for pressure equipment. Such equipment in the sense of the
directive includes vessels, pipelines and accessories with a maximum allowable pressure of
more than 0.5 bar above atmospheric. Flowmeters are considered as piping.
A detailed risk analysis of the flowmeter has been performed in accordance with the PED 97/23/
EC. All risks are assessed to be "none" provided that the procedures and standards referenced
in these operating instructions are observed.
13.16.1 Division according to the danger potential

Flowmeters, which are categorized as piping, are divided into categories according to danger
potential (medium, pressure, nominal diameter). The flowmeters fall into the categories I to III
or they are manufactured according to Article 3 Paragraph 3 - Sound Engineering Practice
(SEP).
The following criteria are decisive for assessment of the danger potential, and are also shown
in Diagrams 6 to 9.
Fluid group Group 1 or 2

● Aggregate state Liquid or gaseous
● Type of pressurized equipment
– Pipeline Product of pressure and volume (PS * V [barL])
The maximum allowable temperature for the used liquids or gases is the maximum process
temperature which can occur, as defined by the user. This must be within the limits defined
for the equipment.

Technical data
13.16 PED
13.16.2 Division of media (liquid/gaseous) into the fluid groups

Zero point adjustment C
In the following the automatic zero point adjustment function is described in detail.
Note
Preconditions
flowrate of zero preferably also at operating pressure and temperature. Refer to "Zero point
adjustment" via LUI (Page 74) or PDM (Page 89) for more details.
Note
Change of parameters during zero point adjustment
Do not change any other parameter during the zero point adjustment procedure.
Automatic zero point adjustment

SITRANS FC430 measures and calculates the correct zero point automatically.
The automatic zero point adjustment of the flowmeter is set by the following parameters:
● Zero Point Adjustment Period
When zero adjust is initiated by selecting "Start Zero Point Adjustment", the massflow values
are acquired and totalized for the configured period (Zero Point Adjustment Period). The default
zero point adjustment period (30 s.) is normally sufficient for a stable zero point measurement.
Note
Extremely low flow quantity
If the flow quantity is extremely small, extremely precise measurement is necessary. In this
case, a long zero point adjustment period can be selected for improved zero point adjustment.

Zero point adjustment
Zero point calculation

During zero point adjustment, an average value is automatically calculated using the following
formula:
Zero Point Offset Value

Average of N flow values N xi is an instantaneous flow value sampled
∑x
i =1
i in the time domain
x≡ N = Number of samples during zero point
N adjustment
The offset value must be within the determined " Offset Limit" (menu item number 2.6.6).
Note
Exceeded zero point offset limit
If the offset value is greater than the configured limit, proceed as follows:
● Check that the tube is completely filled and that the flowrate is absolute zero.
● Check the validity of the configured zero point offset limit.
● Repeat the zero point adjustment.
Zero point standard deviation

After completion of the procedure, the standard deviation is calculated in accordance with the
following formula:
Zero Point Standard Deviation

Standard deviation of N values N N
2
∑ ( xi − x ) 2
i =1
− N x 2 + ∑ xi
i =1
s≡ =
N −1 N −1
The standard deviation contains important feedback on the homogeneity of the fluid, for
example on the presence of bubbles or particles.
The standard deviation must be within the determined "Zero Point Standard Deviation Limit"
(menu item number 2.6.4).
Note
Exceeded standard deviation limit
If the standard deviation is greater than the configured limit, proceed as follows:
● Check that the tube is completely filled and that the flow rate is absolute zero.
● Check that the installation is vibration-free.
● Check the validity of the configured standard deviation limit in parameter 2.6.4 "Standard
deviation limit".
● Repeat the zero point adjustment.

Successful automatic zero point adjustment

If the new zero point offset value is valid, it is automatically stored as the new zero point for
the sensor. It remains stored in the case of a power failure.

Glossary
BRIX
Degrees Brix (symbol °Brix) is a measurement of the mass ratio of dissolved sugar to water
in a liquid. A 25 °Bx solution is 25% (w/w), with 25 grams of sugar per 100 grams of solution.
Coriolis
The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects from a straight path when they
are viewed from a rotating frame of reference. The effect is named after Gaspard-Gustave
Coriolis, a French scientist who described it in 1835. The Coriolis effect is caused by the Coriolis
force, which appears in the equation of motion of an object in a rotating frame of reference.
EHEDG
European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group was founded in 1989 to promote hygienic
engineering in the European food industry. EHEDG provides practical guidance on hygienic
engineering aspects of manufacturing safe and whole some foods.
EMC
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the branch of electrical sciences which studies the
unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy with reference
to the unwanted effects (Electromagnetic Interference, or EMI) that such energy may induce.
The goal of EMC is the correct operation, in the same electromagnetic environment, of different
equipment which use electromagnetic phenomena, and the avoidance of any interference
effects.
Fraction
Fraction designates a proportional relation between an object part and the object whole. For
example, the fraction 3⁄4 represents three equal parts of a whole object, divided into four equal
parts.
IP
An IP (Ingress Protection) number is used to specify the environmental protection rating of
enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests. The
IP number is composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid objects
and the second against liquids. The higher the number, the better the protection. For example,
in IP67 the first Number (6) means that the device is totally protected against dust, and the
second (7) that it is protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m

Glossary
NAMUR
Normenarbeitsgemeinschaft für Meß- und Regeltechnik in der Chemischen Industrie
(NAMUR). NAMUR is a group representing the interests of the chemical industry which create
standards for instrumentation and electrical devices used in industrial plants.
PED
The Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC) is the legislative framework on European level
for equipment subject to a pressure hazard. It was adopted by the European Parliament and
the European Council in May 1997 and has been obligatory throughout the European Union
since May 2002.
Plato
Plato is a measure of the weight of sucrose dissolved in water. It is expressed in degrees (%
by mass).

In order to measure accurately with a measuring instrument it is important that zero and gain
have been calibrated. All Coriolis sensors are calibrated before they are sent out to customers.
However, Coriolis sensors are very sensitive, and several factors might move the zero point,
e.g installation, pressure, temperature and even very small vibrations coming from the process.
All these factors are customer specific and can’t be simulated at the factory. Therefore Siemens
recommends to carry out a zero point adjustment before use.
